Convenient excuse

I work at the Wawa Petal Convenience Store in East Bumbleberry,
Maryland. When a customer left his cell phone in my store, I
scrolled through his saved numbers, stopped at "Mom" and pushed send.
His mother answered, and I told her what happened.

"Don't worry," she said, "I'll take care of it!"

A few seconds later, the cell phone rang. It was "Mom."

"Martin,"
she said, "you left your cell phone at the convenience store."
